Tortured Dog Missing all Four Paws Has Strong Will to Live

On November 30, 2014, Pets Without a Home (Animales Sin Hogar), an animal rescue organization from Montevideo, Uruguay, received a plea to help a mutilated dog taking refuge in a make-shift dog house in a backyard. No knows who the dog belongs to, who abused him, or how the tortured dog arrived at the home, but the little dog, now named Nick, had all four limbs and one of his ears mutilated, in addition to having part of his nose missing.

The organization did not think twice about saving Nick. He was transported to a veterinarian who determined that the dog had probably been abused for over a month. His limbs were bound with something that slowly restricted blood flow, and as a result, Nick’s paws fell off. His leg bones were left exposed.

How the dog lost his ear and part of his nose is unknown, but what is known is that even though Nick was put through unimaginable pain, he continues to be a sweet pet and has nothing but love, kisses and tails wags to give those helping him.

Veterinarians are reconstructing Nick’s extremities to prepare him for prosthetic legs. In the near future, Nick will be able to walk and run like any other dog.

How sickening that some monster being, would chop off this babies feet like that ! Can you imagine !!?? & then trying to move around without paws!! 🙁 no wonder he’s hiding out ….. it’s amazing he even survived these torturous acts !! My heart goes out to this innocent, pained baby !! Thank you for showing him kindness & for helping him !!

This literally just made me cry. I can’t comprehend what type of monster could do this. Thank goodness to animal loving Angels that rescued this dog. Please someone spoil this dog rotten for the rest of her life!!!

I am so…so very sick and tired of seeing horrific stories like this on my FB news feed, SEVERAL times a day!!! What the F**k is wrong with Mankind?!! Our Species (Humans) are the absolute lowest form in the Universe. As a dog parent ( I have had my dog since birth. She is 13 now)…the just pisses me off to no end. It’s EVERY Day I see something like this! Sure, most of these horrific stories have a happy ending…but, a happy ending means something bad happened prior. When does this stop?

OMG…what is wrong people? There needs to be stronger penalties for animal cruelty!!! I would like to find whoever did this…that monster should lose both hands and both feet and left in the middle of nowhere!!!

Poor little boy! I hope he gets the help he needs and finds a loving home to finally relax for the rest of his life! Some evil disgusting person/people did this and I’m sure karma will come around one day and take care of them!

If people got together and offered a reward for info leading to an arrest I’m sure someone would rat the sick bastard out!! Unfortunately I’m thinking he’ll be doing this again, he’s mentally sick in the head.
